The Munroe Doctrine Sphere of Influence is an entrenched interest dating back to Remember the Maine.
First America conquered Mexico.
Then Spain.
When that ran out of cache, that's where the Domino Theory kicked in.
The Domino Theory still applies to Latin America, but the threat does not warrant a CENTCOM.
SOUTHCOM is a sleepy backwater of the Domino Theory.
The America Firtsers were not opposed to the Empire of Liberty.
They didn't advocate for handing the Philippines to the Japanese.
They just didn't want to fight a European war, particularly not for the British Crown.

In a war between the British Crown and Hitler, they sided against the British Crown, in favour of Europe.
